  1. Hello, I use the study kit option a lot and there are some features that I would like you to include.

    1° I would like to have the option of being able to change the order of the cards, when I am in thumbnail mode, in the same way, that I can modify the order of the pages in a notebook.

    2nd I would like to be able to move cards individually or by selecting several from one set to another.

    3rd In thumbnail mode I would like to see the names of the cards much larger, on the iPhone…

  2. Allow the creation of slides which "build", like PowerPoint's "appear" animation, without making multiple pages.

    I am a university professor; my colleagues and I use GoodNotes heavily both for teaching and presenting our research at scientific conferences. One of the last advantages PowerPoint has over GoodNotes, for our use, is the slide animation feature, where objects on a single slide can be made to appear one at a time when the slides are presented. To replicate this behavior in GoodNotes right now, the standard technique is to build the slide over multiple pages, using the page duplication feature. However, this…

  3. Import and convert word documents with track changes to a PDF to take notes. Competing apps can do this. I'm a professional using this app to mark up changed documents sent by my team. These are exclusively word documents and being able to open them in GoodNotes on my iPad would be great.

  5. I love using auto-advance in the zoom box for handwriting notes etc. However, it would be nice if the auto-advance recognized the specific page template being used (given that it is a page template provided by good notes). For example, when using the two-column page template, the auto advance should move you down to the next row in that column rather than have you continue writing across the page. It is a small adjustment that would make a world of a difference.

  6. Please add handwriting to text for Gaeilge. It’s such a good app but we can’t convert our notes to text as it just sees it as Chinese. All primary teachers in Ireland use Gaeilge on a daily basis. Please add this support.

  7. Allow for the shape, pen, or highlighter snap feature to instinctively recognize an intersection of polygons, lines, or just a plain dot. This feature is mainly focused on imported documents and images. In the image below is a triangle (redrawn for clarity) where at each corner, the blue do for the highlighter snap shape is not at the corner. The snap tool should detect intersections, such as for a grid line or corner of a polygon, and automatically move to the intersection.

  9. post it on the app should be easier to use. when you use them they should appear so you can write on them but when you top using them they should disappear/minimize (only appear as a little icon) so they don't use real estate on the screen or block part of it . when you want to read the theme you could press on the icon and the post should re-emerge.

  10. I am using Goodnotes on iPad, Samsung Tab S8 and Windows. So far when creating a notebook from a pdf on the iPad and sharing it I can open the notebook on all platforms.

    Today I tried making a notebook on Windows and share it. I can open the notebook on the Samsung tabelet without problems but on the iPad I get an error saying the link is not valid

  11. Hi, I'm a user about Goodnotes since 2018.
    I suggest a few things to improve the Goodnotes.
    This writing was written including opinions of Goodnotes users around me.

    First, syncs of the Recording function and Text Box
    When I record and write at the same time, the writing syncs with the time of the recording. But it doesn't work in text box mode.
    So I recommend you to syncronize the time of the text coming out and the recorded audio.

    Second, Recording search function
    I would like to be able to hear the recording of that part when I touch…

  13. First thank you for your priceless. application. It’s really enjoyable to take notes.
    As a researcher, I need to read and annotate lots of papers. I would appreciate it if you could add a feature that allows me to write out the outline. I show it in the attachment. It will help organize and make annotation more enjoyable. Also, it gives us more space to make a connection between different articles.

  19. I'm a medical student and I spent hours upon hours on this app.
    Few critical suggestions to help my time-management
    1. Specific search tool, to search within a folder or certain phrases when doing this "...", u know like the google search bar
    2. Audio speed, everyone keeps recommending it. So yeah obvious. Time management
    3. Sticky notes that can close and open when u click on them

    Those are the most important for now. I have some more in the back of my head, but those, oh boy... critical for a medstudent

  20. Please includes a customizable color palette with the ability to add and save custom colors for text styling. This feature is similar to the digital pen's color to create colorful text quickly and easily.
